I had the pleasure of watching Tech's final game against OSU on tv. Tech came from behind in the 8th to take the lead with 2 home runs.
Tech's bullpen was rather depleted, so they trotted out this big dude with a mustache who looked about 40 yrs old (Haveman) to close in the 9th. He hurled high hanging fast balls without much control (to a power-hitting OSU lineup in a game with plenty of home runs). He loaded up the bases with walks (having inherited one runner). He got a pop up out, and some of OSU's best hitters to chase high fastballs out of the strike zone for strike outs to close out the win for Tech. It was something to see. Hope they can take it all in Omaha this year. Wish we'd get back again soon.
